If it turns out to be anything less than mature I will kill people.

I would be willing to bet a large amount of money on M just because the possibility of mods.

Considering we all know that we're going to see a horse-on-child beastiality mod appear two hours before the game's supposed to be released, at this point I don't see why the ESRB doesn't just go all the way and slap an AO on this svcker. Lord knows about half the mod content for Oblivion qualifies for it.

It doesn't matter what the original rating is, it will be probably be rated mature until mods come out bumping it up to advlts only.

M, every Elder Scrolls game save Morrowind has been M I believe. I see no reason for it to be different this time around, especially with an updated engine.

If it does turn out T though, I wouldn't mind too terribly. I would be somewhat disapointed, I would hope they would take some of the dark fantasy ideas from Oblivions Darker parts and some ideas from Dragon Age, but Morrowind was T and my favorite in the series, so I don't think the rating usually has much of an effect on the quality of the game, unless the developer scraps good ideas to make a rating quota.

Voted M just to cover the prejudice shown to many video games. Simple fact that certain topics can be featured in magazines targeted towards young teens without a second thought but the appearance of such a topic in a video game leads to instant condemnation.
